It looks like Motorola’s preliminary injunction against iPhone and iPad products in Germany has translated to a full-blown win. While the specific damages have yet to be dallied, it’s safe to assume that since the patent is an integral part of the GPRS standard, and the case win relates to all 3G Apple products released…
Apple did something different when the announced the iPhone 4S. Instead of terminating sales of the previous generation model, the iPhone 4, they continued selling it at a discounted price. They didn’t stop there though, they also kept on selling the now 30 month old iPhone 3GS. All that choice means the iPhone has all…
Again and again I respond to questions my friends have about mobile technology. One of them is “what is the iPhone 2?”. That’s somewhat tricky. On one hand, you could think that’s the original iPhone which didn’t support 3G connectivity. In that sense some folks referred to it as iPhone 2G, hinting it’s different than…
When Apple announced the first iPad back in January 2010, people called it nothing more than a giant iPod touch for rich white people with too much time on their hands and a mild case of internet addiction. When it hit store shelves a few months later in April, Apple managed to move over 3…

Apple posted its annual App Store Rewind, highlighting its picks for the best apps and games of the year, and at the top of the list for 2011 is the photo-sharing app Instagram. It’s been quite a wild ride for Instagram. The iPhone app of the year is a wildly popular photo-sharing application with great…

You’ve probably already heard this before – iPhone 4S hasn’t met our expectations (and expectations of many other bloggers for that matter), despite the success Apple and its carrier partners are experiencing as we speak. The problem is on our side – simply put, we’ve set the bar so high, and we “forgot” Apple’s way…
German Apple website, Macerkopf, supposedly heard from two independent sources that Apple is testing new processors and different screen resolutions in its next generation iPhone handset.
